What are the Types of Linear Lights?

Introduction

In shopping malls, offices, or modern homes, we often see those slender and straight strip - shaped lamps, that is, linear lights. They not only provide bright light but also can be integrated into various decoration styles. Today, Toppo will take you to know about these linear lights and the common types of linear lights on the market.

 

The Origin of Linear Lighting

The origin of linear lighting can be traced back to fluorescent lamps in the 1950s. At that time, fluorescent lamps were used in industrial production because they could illuminate large - area regions. Later, with the popularization of LED technology, people found that LED lighting was more energy - efficient, high - efficiency, and environmentally friendly, and thus developed LED linear lights. Due to its long - strip shape, LED linear lights can produce long - continuous light. Nowadays, it is often used in various spaces, including offices, retail stores, corridors, and even elevators.


Common Types of Linear Lights

According to different standards, LED linear lights can be divided into multiple types, mainly including the following:

1. According to the structure:

(1) Splicing Linear Light: It is formed by seamlessly connecting multiple linear lamps or LED light strips to form continuous and uninterrupted light. This light has:

 Modular design (the single - section length is usually 1 meter, 0.5 meter, etc.)

 Seamless splicing appearance

 The length can be customized according to the scene

 The damaged section can be replaced independently

The splicing linear light is especially suitable for places that need continuous lighting, such as long corridors and large shopping malls. However, when installing, we should pay attention to the power supply distance limit of the system. Excessive series connection may lead to insufficient brightness at the end.

 

(2) Independent Linear Light: The independent linear light is relatively independent and does not need to be spliced. It generally has fixed specifications and sizes and is self - contained after installation. It is often installed on the walls of hotel guest room corridors to provide soft light for travelers


2. According to the installation method:

(1) Surface - mounted Linear Light: The surface - mounted linear light is directly installed on the ceiling or surface. It is suitable for ceilings that cannot be grooved, such as concrete ceilings, and for corridors, offices, and stores with sufficient floor height.

(2) Suspended Linear LED Light: It is usually suspended by rods or chains and keeps a certain distance from the ceiling. It is often used in high - ceiling spaces and areas that need accent lighting, including classrooms, meeting rooms, stores, and warehouses.

(3) Recessed Linear LED Lighting: Before installing the recessed linear light, we need to groove in the installation position in advance and then install it into the groove. Finally, the lamp is flush with the installation surface. This kind of lamp has soft lighting and is commonly seen in places that pay attention to design sense, such as offices and hotels.

(4) Linear track Lights: This kind of linear light is installed on the track. The built - in electrical conductor in the track can supply power to the lamp and make it slide along the track for re - positioning. This kind of lamp is most commonly used for general lighting, accent lighting (highlighting artworks), and task lighting.

 


Conclusion

Now we have known the main types of LED linear lights and their applicable applications. We hope that this content will be helpful to you when you actually choose linear lights.

Common Problems of Slip Rings and Countermeasures

图片
In numerous industrial equipment and systems, slip rings connect and transmit electric current and rotating signals. However, like other mechanical components, slip rings may encounter some malfunctions. Today, let's understand these problems together and master the corresponding solutions! Poor Contact During the rotation of a surveillance camera, the image may suddenly become blurry, stutter or even completely disappear. In a production line, the motor may also operate unstably, sometimes speeding up and sometimes slowing down, or making abnormal noises. These phenomena may be caused by insufficient pressure between the brush of the slip ring and the conductive ring. The main reason is that the brush wears out after long-term use or the pressure was not adjusted properly during installation. Or perhaps dust, moisture, etc. in the working environment have entered the inside of the slip ring. Solutions: We can use special cleaners and tools to remove the dirt and oxide layer on it...

How to Determine the Quality of Through Hole Slip Ring?

图片
Overview Learning how to determine the quality of through hole slip ring s can help us find the most suitable slip rings. It includes a number of checks and tests: Appearance Inspection : This is the most basic inspection method. We ensure that the size of the through hole slip ring meets the standard by visual inspection or using measuring tools. And after removing the damaged, deformed, and worn defective products, we strictly check according to the technical drawings. Signal Transmission Interference Test : Technicians use professional equipment such as signal generators, spectrum analyzers, oscilloscopes, and electrostatic discharge generators to check whether the slip ring can transmit signals stably. During this process, the through hole slip ring should not generate obvious noise, distortion, and interference. This test can ensure the accuracy of the slip ring signal in a complex electromagnetic environment. This is important for high-precision industries such as medical and aer...

Slip Ring Design: What are the Key Parameters?

图片
  As a connecting component of various electromechanical devices, slip rings   can transmit power and electrical signals from a fixed structure to a rotating structure. When we design slip rings, whether in standard or custom specifications, we need to select the suitable parameters to ensure their normal operation. So, do you know what important parameters slip rings have? Electrical Parameters 1. Number Of Circuits The number of circuits of a slip ring refers to the number of independent signal channels that can be transmitted simultaneously. For example, a 10-circuit slip ring can transmit 10 different signals simultaneously. The more circuits there are, the more complex the structure of the slip ring becomes and the more difficult it is to manufacture. At the same time, it may also affect the stability of the slip ring, because more signal channels mean more potential failure points.   2. Rated Current/Voltage l Rated Current:   It refers to the maximum current a...
